Photo c/o RRCG Facebook Page

The Department of Transportation requires everyone to wear both face shield and face mask when taking any mode of transportation^[2]. A no face mask, no face shield, no ride policy is also implemented in areas under GCQ. This is for all P2P bus routes operating under community quarantine.

Here are other safety precautions you should follow:

• Face shield must completely cover all sides and length of the face
• Face mask should be properly worn, covering your nose, mask, and sides of the face
• Stay at least six feet away from other passengers
• Go cashless. Pay using a mobile wallet or beep card, if possible.
• Avoid poorly ventilated areas. Enclosed places pose higher risks of contamination
• Don’t touch surfaces, if you do immediately disinfect your hands using alcohol
• Don’t touch your face during your commute

Final Thoughts

These P2P bus routes and schedules can help you safely plan your trip during GCQ. With COVID-19 cases in the country continue rising, it’s best to stay at home to prevent infection. However, if you must go out for essentials and work, make sure to wear your face mask and face shield.
